I was supposed to get my baby weighed yesterday and couldn't make it as I was ill. He hasn't been weighed for nearly 3 weeks so Id love to know his weight as otherwise will need to wait until first week of Jan.


I normally go to Townley Road but that's Wednesdays only I believe.


Thanks!

Have never done it differently with either kid but was lucky to have chubby-but-not-super-chubby, non-spitting-up, pretty well eating kids. If your baby isn't particularly skinny (or excessively chubby) based on its looks I would think you don't even have to bother with the home scale either :-$ Sorry I know social services will be after me within a week but we're kind of overdoing this weighing clinic thing IMO :-$

Ditto. took my second to the HV to be weighed twice and that was because I took pity on her as she was so nice and was encouraging mums to go along. Can imagine that many people find it a comfort - whilst some find it stress inducing. Some just like to see their baby's growth 'progress' on that red book chart! Usually just weighed at home when was wondering If he'd just put on lots of weight or I was getting old and tired!

We weigh our son by putting him in the door bouncer harness (we know it weighs EXACTLY 340g) and then weighing him with a excess luggage...er...measurer thing. It's not 110% accurate, but it gets the job done. An idea for the future perhaps?


I believe there used to be a HV/baby weigh drop in clinic at 'baby and me' which is at the surestart centre on Bantry St SE5. I think it's from 1-3? USed to be in the dulwich/camberwell 'lets go' events listings.

    • Possibly a little specialist (and the ultimate eventual clothes horse unless you're into fitness!) but we have the Pivot: PIVOT | Ultimate Space-Saving Bed & Home Gym Solution It's a full weight Olympic squat rack which pulls down from the wall into a double/king bed. When we bought it as a Kickstarter project it was less expensive than a murphy bed from places like the Wall Bed Company, though this may no longer be the case. Super easy to put together ourselves.
    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
